5. Tumbleweed- This mod adds tumbleweed, which can be found rolling around in the desert biome and if broken, may drop good loot, like a piece of diamond

6. Attribute Fix- In the normal version of Minecraft, the armor value cap is set to 30, but when playing with mods, there maybe armor better then the value 30, but because the armor cap is set to 30, those modded armors aren't better then diamond or netherite, this mod changes that, making it so armors above the value of 30 actually work

7. Nether Portal Fix- A mod that keeps track of what portals a player went through in order to ensure correct destinations when the player is going back through the same portals

8. Sulfur and potassium- Adds two new ores that are solely meant for the purpose of creating gun powder, this mod permits two new ores that spawn as common as coal, no longer will you have to go on massive creeper killing sprees, this mod will help greatly when it comes to the Flan's mod and your tnt mining expeditions.

9. Born in a barn- A mod that fixes a bug in Minecraft were villager doors would cause chunks to always remain loaded, causing you performance issues

Group 5- Gameplay Improvement mods

1. Fence Jumper- This mod allows you to jump over fences, unless they're two blocks high or more

2. Torch Slab- This mod makes it so you can place torches on slab blocks, this does not include Redstone torches

3. Ore Excavation- A mod that allows you to break the entirely of something, gathering wood? when you break a piece of wood apart of a tree, the rest of the wood will also break, this applies to ores as well, to get this mod to work, when you load up your game, go to settings, go to control's, scroll down until you find the ore excavation category and change the input of excavate to shift, this will make it so the Ore excavation mode will only enable if you shift while breaking something, this will prevent you from destroying your world when breaking a piece of dirt, bonus, this mod will not enable when you run out of hunger bars

Group 6- Performance Improvement mods

1. BetterFPS- A mod that increases the amount of FPS you get, if you have a good computer, this mod probably won't do much

2. Dynamic View- A mod that keeps your chunk view distance at whatever you set it at when you're not lagging and when you're lagging it decreases your chunk view distance, as to help you stop lagging faster, returning back to whatever you set it at, once you stop lagging

3. Fast Furnace- A mod that improves the code for furnaces, making your game run slightly better, this mod will probably come into effect when you have 10 or more furnaces, if you have a good computer, this mod will probably not make much of a difference

4. FPS reducer- When you go AFK for 5 minutes, this mod reduces the need for Minecraft to use your CPU and GPU, allowing your computer to live a little longer, this mod also adds a FPS counter to the top right of your screen and if you have your Minecraft open while in a different application, the mod will do the exact same thing as mentioned

5. Performant- Increases the performance you get, by doing things such as fixing the AI code which as a bonus makes the AI perform better, this mod also has a few other things that increases the performance you get, if you have a very good computer this mod probably won't increase your performance much, or even none at all

The are a few more mods, I have yet to give them descriptions and put them in their respective groups

Disclaimers!

For the Ore Excavation mod, remember to go to settings, controls, scroll down until you find the ore excavation mod controls, change the excavate input to shift, this will make it so the mod will only enable when you're holding down shift, preventing you from causing catastrophic events, such as destroying nearly your entire wooden base, because you wanted to break one wooden block

The are two variants of some ores in this modpack, they're somewhat compatible, just a little warning so you don't start raging when you're trying to make something that requires copper and it won't let you due to the fact you have the wrong copper type

The is a med kit within this modpack, that has certain ingredients with no textures, meaning you can't craft it

For some of the modded enchanted books, you won't be able to read their descriptions, as they haven't been given descriptions

If you don't like the FPS counter in the top right of your screen, I think you can disable it somewhere within the settings

When it comes to Mcaw's bridges, mobs have a little trouble sometimes when trying to cross them, don't worry, mobs can still cross them

Extra Information to help assist you!

Aether- To visit and explore the new dimension, you need to build a portal exactly the same way as the nether portal, but instead of using obsidian, you must use glow stone, which you can get from the nether, and then to light up the portal, you need to use a water bucket
